5.2 EQuIPMEnt And FunCtIonAL SPECIFICAtIonS
5.2.1 VAC 2006 controller
Front panel
F1.
Emergency button with LEd (red)
Flush-mounted push-button for activating the Manual Emergency mode. It enables access to the system, with top priority, from the
“quiescent condition” or during an Automatic Emergency, previously activated from an external peripheral unit. The LED, which is normally
extinguished, will light up steadily in the Manual Emergency mode activated from the unit in question. If the LED flashes, this indicates
a Manual Emergency status activated from an emergency microphone station or a remote controller. The Emergency button will also be
used for exiting the Manual Emergency. The push-button is controlled by the internal diagnostics system.
F2.
Emergency microphone
Hand-held microphone with Push-to-Talk (P.T.T.) key, for live emergency announcements. The microphone is only operational in Manual
Emergency conditions and has priority over pre-recorded emergency messages. The microphone capsule is controlled by the internal
diagnostic system. Use only the microphone included in the supply, connected directly, without any extension cable, to the XLR socket on
the front panel of the VAC 2006.
F3.
Graphic dISPLAY
Backlit black-and-white graphic display, 128x64 pixels, for displaying the many management windows, the contents of which will vary
depending on the operating conditions of the system (quiescent or emergency). Together with the +/- knob and with the multi-purpose keys,
it is useful for navigating through the menus, for adjusting working parameters and for managing advanced functions. It will also display
all the information required concerning Fault, Disablement and Voice Alarm Conditions, that are not all signalled by the status LED’s.
Rear panel
R1.
PoWER switch
ON/OFF switch of the VAC 2006 system. In the O (OFF) position, the system is switched off and in the I (ON) position the system is switched
on. The switch affects only the main 230 VAC power supply (see the “Power Supply and Earthing” and “Safety Notes” sections for details
about safety).
R2.
EMERGEnCY unItS
Input for connecting remote emergency microphone stations. Use only the FMD 2001 and/or FMD 2012 microphone stations. RJ45
socket for connection with Cat. 5e SF/UTP cable with a shielding braid and shielded STP connector (for details of the connection,
consult the manual of the FBT 37359 stations). The EMERGENCY UNITS must be connected to one another in daisy-chain fashion:
each of the two connecting lines A and B can reach a total length of up to 1 km.
R3.
VAC 2006 LInK Sockets for connections among VAC 2006 controllers (up to 6)
Connectors for connections among several controllers. If both LINk A and LINk B are used, a redundant connection is achieved that keeps
the system in working order even if one of the two links fails. If more than one controller is installed on the same rack, it is possible to use
a single LINk (A or B). if this is done, it is necessary to de-activate the remote link test not being used:
